The Lindenmeier site is a stratified multi-component archaeological site most famous for its Folsom component. The former Lindenmeier Ranch is in the Soapstone Prairie Natural Area, in northeastern Larimer County, Colorado, United States. The site contains the most extensive Folsom culture campsite yet found with calibrated radiocarbon dates of c. 12,300 B.P. (10,300 BCE).[3] Artifacts were also found from subsequent Archaic and Late pre-historic periods.
The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on January 20, 1961.[2] The United States National Park Service has studied the possibility of making the Lindenmeier site a United States National Monument.
